Although I made 12 more special visits to the Canal for the
purpose of Inspecting Boats, during the past year than I did in 1901,
there is a great falling off in the number inspected. This I believe
is partly due to having been for some time a shortage of water up
country so that the boats were unable to pass.
I am pleased to report that I found the boats inspected kept in
a much better condition, and in nearly every case quite satisfactory.
